About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom who loves to cook for my family. My husband and children are picky eaters so I find myself always looking for new recipes to try and also changing recipes to suit my family's taste. We are from Chile but live in America, so I also enjoy making south american dishes to honor our family's culture and traditions.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking, but I also enjoy making gourmet dinners.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I loved tea time, growing up, and now I enjoy having tea time with my children, and on the weekends with my husband and sometimes extended family as well. It's also a staple for my friends & I to gather around a hot pot of fresh tea and baked goods.
My cooking triumphs
I once make shortbread cookies and thought of dipping them in chocolate to see what would happen, it was the nicest looking and delicious cookie I've ever tried!
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make TORTA DE MIL HOJAS, a chilean cake, for a friend's dinner party and it was terrible. we ended up throwing it out.

Cream-Filled Cupcakes
excellent recipe, delicious filling. I made a frosting using the same filling recipe except I added 2 oz of unsweetened chocolate to it and it was wonderful.

ABC (Absolute Best Chewy) Chocolate Chippers
This recipe is exactly like it was described. It's chewy, soft, puffy and most of all delicious. Follow all the steps as told, though. I think that is important so you get the perfect recipe result. I am taking a picture now and submitting it for this recipe.
